  • Trump hits ABC, NBC as ‘FAKE NEWS,’ says he’d support FCC revoking licenses

    President Trump went on a late-night attack against NBC and ABC News on Sunday, deriding them for what, in his view, was "biased" coverage and said he would be in favor of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) revoking their licenses. The Republican president said the news outlets had given him negative coverage on "97%" of stories. It wasn’t clear from where Trump was citing the "97%" figure. A study released earlier this year by the conservative media watchdog group, Media Research Center (MRC), found that coverage of the president’s first 100 days in office was "92% negative." "IF THAT IS...

    Friday’s Bolton raid and the rebuke of Trump’s $500M fine show what happens when justice is not impartial.If you are a liberal alarmed by the Friday raid on the home of former national security adviser John Bolton, well, you should be. It’s possible that if charges come out, we’ll learn that Bolton committed a security breach that would have been prosecuted under any president. But there are reasons to suspect otherwise, given that President Donald Trump and FBI director Kash Patel have endorsed lawfare against their political enemies, including Bolton.This is a crisis for American democracy, because even if charges...
  • Variety Magazine: 'As Fascism Takes Hold in the U.S.,' Will TV Show 'Real-Life Horrors?'

    The headline to Tuesday’s screed in Variety by Michael Schneider, the Hollywood-based entertainment mag’s executive editor for TV, was as subtle as a Michael Bay movie: “As Fascism Takes Hold in the U.S.,How Will — and Should — the TV Landscape Depict Our Real-Life Horrors?” Schneider railed against living in a world “where our rights are continually under attack, our speech threatened, our healthcare slashed, our standing on the world stage destroyed, a secret police in ICE now roaming the streets and violently arresting people without just cause, military forces are being moved into our cities because they don’t support...
  • Trump’s D.C. Takeover May Be a Prelude to Something Far Worse

    It’s possible Donald Trump’s abrupt decision to “federalize” law enforcement in Washington, D.C., was just a one-off power grab, reflecting the federal government’s unique control of the capital city and Trump’s own obsession with Washington as a symbol of the American greatness he claims to be restoring. In other words, maybe he took over D.C. because he could. But the exotic and rather fascistic appearance of National Guard units on the streets of Washington absent a riot or some other historically relevant pretext makes you wonder if the 47th president has something far worse in store. Here are some possibilities...
  • Trump walks along White House roof, jokes he’s ready to install ‘nuclear missiles’ there

    President Trump was spotted strolling along a roof at the White House on Tuesday morning — and jokingly told reporters he was planning to install “nuclear missiles” there. The president at first claimed he was “just talking a little walk” — before saying he was looking to put “nuclear missiles” there and chuckling and moving his hand to mimic a projectile.

    California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently shook up his communications team, and now the outspoken Democrat is turning many of Donald Trump's brash political tactics against the president himself. Newsom and his team have used online trolling, meme wars, mocking TikTok videos, insults such as "****," and even a lawsuit against a media company — in this case, one accusing Fox News of misleading reporting — to create an edgy resistance.

    As a warming planet delivers more extreme weather, experts warn that the Trump administration is dismantling the government’s disaster capabilities.In an effort to shrink the federal government, President Trump and congressional Republicans have taken steps that are diluting the country’s ability to anticipate, prepare for and respond to catastrophic flooding and other extreme weather events, disaster experts say. Staff reductions, budget cuts and other changes made by the administration since January have already created holes at the National Weather Service, which forecasts and warns of dangerous weather. Mr. Trump’s budget proposal for the next fiscal year would close 10 laboratories...

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — The leader of the free world was sporting a new look this morning, as witnesses noticed that President Donald Trump's skin had returned to normal human color just one day after HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. began phasing out artificial dyes. The president's hue marked a drastic change from the standard orange-tinted tone he had become known for, with experts speculating that RFK Jr.'s ban on synthetic dyes resulted in Trump's skin reverting back to a far more natural shade commonly associated with human beings. "He's a cleaner, far less-toxic Trump," said one White House...

    CPH:DOX, the internationally-renowned nonfiction film festival in Copenhagen, is confronting a dramatically altered geopolitical order, one that threatens the values of freedom of expression upon which the documentary field is founded. The theme of this year's festival, decided several months ago, centers on "the state of human rights, civil liberties, and the international rule of law," festival artistic director Niklas Engstrøm tells Deadline. "We thought it would be very, very timely. I think it became even more timely than we had prepared ourselves for with what is happening right now with the U.S. [Trump] administration de facto trying to change...

    Democrats are at a crossroads over whether to reach across the aisle for legislative wins or stonewall President Donald Trump at all costs. Lawmakers are emerging from constituent events bruised and battered from voter demands to fight Republicans tooth and nail. But not everyone is sold on the strategy, as Democrats scramble for cohesion and reveal division that’s taken the spotlight off Trump’s flurry of executive actions. “I am definitely in the ‘Democrats need to raise hell’ camp,” Democratic strategist Brad Bannon said. “Voters aren’t in the calm mood, and I don’t think they are receptive to a Democratic Party...

    Whether or not they vote to shut down the government today, Democrats have proven one thing: They are really bad at messaging. Laying out their political narrative on funding the government should have begun on Jan. 3, when this session of Congress began. Instead, as of lunch time on Wednesday, the party was still trying to puzzle out what it’s going to say. That’s just not the way to do it. Democrats need to have a consistent, effective message that everyone can understand. This shouldn’t be that hard. In the Trump administration, they’ve been given the fattest, juiciest target in...
  • More than half of Biden supporters say main reason for backing is to oppose Trump: CBS poll

    More than half of President Biden’s supporters said they are mainly backing the incumbent in 2024 to oppose former President Trump, according to a new poll. A new CBS News/YouGov poll, released Sunday, found 54 percent of likely Biden voters are planning to choose him on November’s ballot, a 7-point increase from March. The second-highest reason for choosing Biden was that they liked him, with 27 percent selecting the option. This is down 4 points from when the poll was taken in March. Nearly a fifth, or 19 percent, said they are going with Biden because he is the presumptive...
  • Should We Be Worried About Trump's Polling Lead? There are signs that Trump's lead might be softer than we think

    Contrary to what many political pundits, including this one, thought would happen as soon as Donald Trump became the presumptive GOP nominee, the former president has maintained a slim but steady polling lead over President Joe Biden. As of today, the RCP Average has Trump with a 1.1% overall advantage, with Quinnipiac being the only May poll showing Biden leading, albeit by a mere 1%. By contrast, Biden enjoyed a 5.6% advantage this time in 2020, an election in which Trump never actually took the average polling lead.Still, are there signs that Trump's lead might be softer than we think?...

Harris said, “I think most people don’t think of it in the context of democracy so much as freedom. The freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body, the freedom to love who you love openly and with pride, the freedom to be able to be free from gun violence, these are fundamental freedoms that are at stake right now.” She added, “We’ve got a guy right...

    A jury has found that Donald Trump sexually abused E. Jean Carroll. The panel of six men and three women also found that Trump injured advice columnist Carroll in a Manhattan Bergdorf Goodman dressing room and defamed her, ordering the former President to pay her $5million in damages. Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct or assault by more than two dozen women, but this has so far been the only case to end up before a jury. Carroll, 79, sued for battery under the Adult Survivors Act, a law passed in New York that allowed a one year window...

    Conservative pundit and Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro blamed former President Donald Trump for Republicans losing momentum ahead of the midterms. …. In a Twitter thread on Tuesday, Shapiro blasted Republicans who put the focus on Trump despite his unpopularity with independents, who are a crucial electoral demographic. Shapiro said that the problem for Republicans is not just the Supreme Court overturning the landmark abortion decision Roe v. Wade. ….. [Little Ben] : “ This means that when Trump is attacked, Republicans immediately return to making him the centerpiece of the conversation – and this harms them electorally, as every...

    The bizarre pom-pom creature is yet to be officially named. An image of the unnamed spaghetti worm from the newly released MBARI video. (Image credit: 2012 MBARI) A bizarre seafloor creature covered with luminous orange, spaghetti-like tentacles recently made its internet debut in newly released video footage. The unusual pom-pom-shaped creature is actually a type of segmented marine worm known as a polychaete, and it belongs to an appropriately named group: spaghetti worms. Researchers from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) captured footage of the pasta-mimicking worm in 2012 using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), while they were exploring...
